It is at least as good as the first released in 2005. I like the live performance. He is so down to earthwith everyday occurences to ordinary people.He has a special niche in the Christian music industry.

Eli has become known for his signature folky acoustic rock and unique vocals. With his second release, Second Hand Clothing, Eli experimented a little more with adding a tinge of electrics to the mix, but nothing to substantially alter his sound. With Now the News, the ever-personal man seems to get yet a little more personal and friendly as he shares a cup of coffee, if you will, in a conversationally and artistically composed musical offering. Now the News even seems to take the random feel of a newspaper, in a way, as five 'interludes' are tossed into the mix. Most are live snippets from his performances rarely exceeding 30 seconds with longest piece involving a fan's cell phone at a live show to close out the disc. Apparently, Eli's concept for Now the News was born out of his own personal collection of newspaper clippings which from he created lyrics to tell the stories from pictures. The titled track, an upbeat acoustic rock tune, is an observation by Eli of how people seem to base how they live and what they believe on what they hear from the news media. Eli tries to portray the album, also hinted at being titled (k)Now the News, as a tool to expose the real ultimate Truth as opposed to the 'lies' the media feeds us.

Basically incredible.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is very deep and heartfelt. The message is incredible, and the music loses none of its luster when it's performed live. Despite a little bit of disjointed-ness (track two is just about 30 seconds of people moving things on stage and the crowd babbling in the background, yeah, it's kinda weird) it's great!!! Something for everybody, unique melodies for each song and very uplifting."
